Additive manufacturing lab featured in trade magazine

Wednesday, August 2, 2017

Obstacles and opportunities in the promising field of additive manufacturing (AM), or industrial 3D printing, are outlined in a lengthy feature story by Waterloo Engineering professor Ehsan Toyserkani in the latest issue of Industry Today.

This complex sphere and other metal objects were 3D printed at the Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Laboratory.

“And while we are fully aware of the considerable challenges – including the need to coordinate expertise in different areas so AM can be applied to make specific parts – we are confident it is only a matter of ‘when,’ not ‘if,’ they will be conquered,” Toyserkani wrote in the glossy trade magazine.
